Description

It’s easy to build a hot rod that’s both good-looking and great-performing on a working man’s budget — if you make the right choice and follow a proven plan.

If you want to build a hot rod on a budget, the hands-down winner when it comes to getting the greatest bang for your buck is the T-Bucket. Inspired by Norm Grabowski’s “Kookie Car” of the 1950s, the 1923 Ford T-Bucket you build today is the best value going! Here’s why:

Appearance: It screams HOT ROD.

Performance: When you build a HotRod without excess weight, even a stock V8 will blow away most anything on the road today.

Fun to Drive: Looking over the running engine and watching the rotating wheels and tires gives you the feeling of complete control. For the pure thrill and feel of driving, there’s nothing like a T-Bucket.

Fuel Efficient: If you want to build a hotrod on a budget, chances are good you don’t want to waste gas money either. Light weight = more mpg.

Profitable: Depending on your skills, taste and attention to detail, you should be able to sell the T-Bucket you build for a 100% to 200% profit, or more. Use that profit to start building the Deuce coupe you’ve always wanted but couldn’t afford — or have so much fun with your T-Bucket you keep it!

Economic: You can build a HotRod T-Bucket for under $3000! We’ll show you how.

Just what do purchasers of Chester’s legendary hot rod “how to” eBook have to say about it? Here are just a few comments and we hope to add yours, too:

So, I ordered my first eBook. And, I have to say the book is awesome … it’s pretty much the bible of … building not just a T-Bucket but any hot rod.

This particular book is not like others … but ‘how to’ step-by-step put one together with an emphasis on not buying parts but making them yourself or, if you have to, where to and what to buy that is cheap and still safe.

The thing I liked about this book is, it covers every freaking thing it takes to build a T. Most just cover the basics. It’s all those little things that will get ya when you build something.

I am glad I bought this book … not because I have an interest in T-Buckets but because it has down to earth ways to build a car … which can be adapted to any vehicle you are making. This book has a lot of info for someone who hasn’t done it before … I have purchased many ‘how to’ books and each disappointed me due to the lack of real info needed.

There’s a lot of great info in it that supplements some of the material I already have, and lots of stuff in it that I don’t have. And what can you really buy for (less than 20) bucks these days?”

Good stuff and maybe it will get some of the ‘I can’t afford to build a hot rod’ guys thinking and doing.

I just got mine. Section alone on radiator sizes is worth the price!!

It was this book that I showed to a friend that was just getting into drag racing. He had a ’73 Nova and was about to spend a fortune on it. I showed him the book and said wouldn’t you rather have something like this than that Nova? He already had an engine and I gave him the cost vs. cost … weight vs. weight, etc. Well, the decision was made. He wanted a “T” … LOL. We made a few changes from the book but as I said it was the book that steered the way. I don’t think he will ever let it go … too much fun. Come to think about it … he still has my book!

I’m an advanced rodder and like other advanced rodders rarely need a how to book. But in the blurb about the book it was mentioned that there was a cheap way to make a good looking windscreen frame. So I bought the book primarily for that info which I find very helpful. For a novice/intermediate rodder it should be a very helpful book … it is quite a good book. There are various patterns and templates included, even patterns for the mounting brackets for disc brakes on a beam axle.

I thought the way things were explained was great and how you went into detail. I found the electrical section to be especially helpful. All books and magazines dealing with cars should be written this way!

This book has built at least 5 T-Buckets over the years for me and friends. I would never sell mine at any price … Over the years I would hit a spot on a build and just not be sure what to do next. Without a doubt Chester has pulled me through some of those tough spots with his ‘Common Sense’ approach.

This new ebook contains a TON of good information on how to build a hot rod T-Bucket …
